Mailing Easter Eggs

I found this idea on Pinterest and it originally came from Giver’s Log Happy Mail. So this Easter I decided to try it. I sent eggs to several young children, and students studying at college, because who doesn’t love happy mail?

All the stuff! I bought the jumbo eggs, and then stocked up on party favors to put in them. I also sent necklaces to the baby girls along with hair clips, and socks for the college girls. I stuffed the eggs, and taped them to make sure they didn’t pop open in delivery.

*Note: Anything that weighs 13 oz or less can be mailed without being in a box, be sure to measure and calculate postage based on the PARCEL rate, not letter rate

Bottom Left: In the drop box Bottom Right: Two eggs made safely to their destination

All but two of the eggs were delivered, and I know that the post office delivered them (perks of knowing the Postmaster) so the college must have decided to keep the eggs which is sad
